DivaCup - Best menstrual cup with 100% medical grade silicone and leak-free air holes
When we think of our period, two options immediately come to our minds: tampons and pads. However, a menstrual cup is a third option that now exists and a Diva cup is one of these noteworthy things.
The Diva Cup is a highly reputable cup that has provided excellent protection for quite a few women over the years. It is easily found in a department store or an online market. While these cups aren’t considered to have large capacity, they may be a great choice for individuals who demand a longer cup due to a medium or a high cervix. The silicone material makes it become popular and it comes in 3 different sizes.
Diva cup model 0 is the narrowest version which is used for ages 18 and under. The Diva Cups model 1 is for the ages between 19 and 30 and has a medium menstrual flow. And number 2 is especially for those over the age of 30 and it has a heavier menstrual flow.
Diva Menstrual cup: features that changed how we face periods
Body
Its body shape is like the letter “V” in the alphabet which tapers to a point and may be easier to reach for individuals with a medium to high cervix.
Trimmable stem
The stem is considered hollow and fairly short, it is easily trimmed to fit your body’s secret zone (do not go shorter than ¼ inch, or 0.6 cm) and move in all directions. One thing that should be noticed is that with hollow stems,blood can become trapped in them. Make sure to pay close attention during cleaning.
Material: Soft silicone
The DivaCup is made from durable silicone that becomes excellent for years of use. 100% medical grade silicone which is the best for your vagina.
Leak-resistant air holes
There are four small air holes just under the upper rim of your Diva Cup to create a seal that secures the cup in the right place. So say goodbye leaks.
Cost - effective
The diva cup can be reused(suggest changing once per year). You pay only one time for a menstrual cup, unlike other disposable products, which have to be continually bought and can cost upward of $100 a year.
More time on duty
While tampons are required to be changed every 4 to 8 hours, depending on your flow, cups can stay longer up to 12 hours of protection. Most importantly, once you insert the cup, there’s no need to wear a backup pad. Cups can hold more blood than other methods, leading many women to use them as an alternative one.
How to insert a Diva cup into your “comfort zone”?
Inserting a cup is relatively easy like using a tampon. Just follow these steps to use a cup:
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Apply water or water-based lube to the cup’s rim.
- Fold the cup in half.
- Insert the rim up into your vagina and it should sit a few inches below your cervix.
- Once the cup is put inside the vagina, just rotate it and it will open to create an airtight seal that stops leaking.
